Always will be. By the definition most recognized in this forum car light people, whatever that really is, have already reached the goal once they start calling themselves car light. There is no car "lighter."
Person has two cars. drives both, goal is to have one. One car sold goal achieved. Car light by the forum definition can't cheat. Even if they never sold the car, they didn't cheat they gave up. DNF in racing. Cheating would be claim to do what you didn't. Calling someone a cheat when they are doing what they said is a false value judgement. Once a goal is achieved can anyone feel they cheated by not doing more? If you ride a century is it cheating not to ride an extra 50 miles?
Unless you have another definition of what car light is? But you may have your own opinion.
So we can now all agree on the inherent problem here? Its the same reason most people fail on their diet: Ambiguous goal. If you ask them what their goal is they say to lose weight. Well if you weigh 350 lbs and you lose one pound you achieved your goal. When your goal is ambiguous the term "cheat" doesn't apply, and pretty much make the whole concept pretty much meaningless.
